Things to pull at the junkyard?
I went to the junkyard today just to browse and they had a '90 and a '93 LS. I was wondering what some good parts would be to snag off of them to have just in case. I was planning on grabbing the grill, emblems, and radio out of the '93. Anything else that I should get?

ECU and Idle Air Control Valve
maybe the intake plenum plastic parts (the tubes on either side of air filter) if in good shape!
no sure the radio is worth the trouble, they are a dime/dozen on ebay
maybe the battery box and/or A/C compressor
look underneath for expensive aftermarket suspension parts and check upper control arms (UCA) and snag if in great shape (check ball joint in center of upper control arm)
relays!

Coolant overflow bottle. Usually cracked.
Throttle position sensors. Cheap enough to keep as a spare in a pinch.
Alternator if it looks free of power steering fluid.
Rubber seals from around doors and trunk.(depending on condition)

Idle air control valve
Crank position sensor
MAF
Ignitors
TPS
ECU if the car was crashed (sign that the car did run)
That's my list, but I have 2 1uz swapped toyotas and working on a 3rd. These are the parts that are usually the culprit if I have an issue with the swap running correctly.

Does anyone know a junkyard/ someone with a 1996 Celsior/ LS400 ( UCF 21) on ebay ?
I would like to create links, as there are some items I must get off my parts list.
Priority Number 1 being Fuel Tank Pump set plate with its 8mm bolts

wrecked doesn't really matter, they all need new capacitors, especially if the car has been sitting up, i.e. in a junkyard!

there is a hidden fastener under a hidden panel inside the glovebox - so be prepared to look for the mystery bolt when you are getting the lower glovebox out

This 97 Set plate has spacing for 6 bolts, it looks bigger than 8mm also...
My 96 Set plate carries 8, 8mm bolts
